Properties of endogenous voltage-dependent sodium currents in Xenopus laevis oocytes

Endogenous voltage-dependent sodium currents were recorded using standard 2-microelectrode techniques in Xenopus laevis oocytes. Maximal inward current occurred at −10 mV with an average amplitude of − 279 ± 7 nA and steady-state inactivation was half-maximal at a voltage of −38 ± 0.5 mV. Currents w...

description Endogenous voltage-dependent sodium currents were recorded using standard 2-microelectrode techniques in Xenopus laevis oocytes. Maximal inward current occurred at −10 mV with an average amplitude of − 279 ± 7 nA and steady-state inactivation was half-maximal at a voltage of −38 ± 0.5 mV. Currents were blocked by low concentrations of tetrodotoxin (TTX) with an IC 50 value of 6 nM. These properties make the endogenous sodium current in Xenopus oocytes similar to sodium currents expressed following injection of mammalian brain RNA. While endogenous sodium channels have the potential to complicate analysis when using the oocyte expression system, they are only present at significant levels in rare batches of oocytes (< 5%). Our results do stress the need, however, to reproduce results from exogenous expression studies across several batches of oocytes from different donors.
